The Dress

FROM RUE DE SEINE:
- Designed for the intrepid wanderer, Roam takes ethereal to new heights. Intricate vine and floral lace trickles seamlessly from the high halter neck down to the show-stopping train. Fitted at the waist and hips, Roam’s silhouette exudes modernity. Areas of sheer lace at the neck and back bodice are balanced by layered tulle side skirts to create an explosion of soft texture with each stride.

FABRICS:
- Shell: Rayon, Nylon, Cotton
- Lining: Silk Spandex

WHAT I LOVED:
- Natural fabrics: I had a destination and outdoor wedding, so the natural fabrics were a must for me (silk, rayon, and cotton). These felt so good and soft, and kept me cool during a hot day.
- Support: The halter top and the keyhole back gave me all the support I needed (with the breast cups added during alterations). I'm busty and needed the support -- this dress delivered.
- Feminine: I LOVED the beautiful lace that Rue de Seine is known for. I was originally leaning towards the Wave but the Roam's lace and style were just a bit more elevated for a more formal and feminine look. This hugged me beautifully and I felt gorgeous.

CLEANING:
- This dress has been professionally dry cleaned by Rytina Fine Cleaners in Sacramento, CA.

DAMAGE:
- There's one small but not very noticeable stain on the left chest (see photo). There's damage on the train (torn lace, see photo). There may be additional very minor pulling of threads in the lace fabric, mesh, or lining, or faint marks from general wear.

QUESTIONS:
- Please let me know if you'd like additional photos or have questions! I loved this dress SO much and would be thrilled for another bride to enjoy it as much as I did.

Alterations

- Hemmed. I am 5'1" and wore 4" heels.
- Slightly took in the lace of the keyhole back.
- Added modesty panel while retaining the sweetheart neckline. I didn't like the plunge neckline of the lining. See my bridal shot for what this looks like. I believe this panel can be removed (it was hand-stitched) but you should consult your seamstress.
- Added breast cups. I believe these can be removed but you should consult your seamstress.
- Added a nine-point bustle. This was an expensive job but so nice for the reception.
